Good advice, at least among the rational non-bomb throwers on here. There's been lots of good spirited debate among those with different perspectives, and maybe even more importantly, lots of information sharing.wgdsr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 12:10 pm if i may, we'd all do well to have a larger amount of tolerance for opposing views. and not read into what others are saying as much with our own proclamations of what they mean. all sides. at least more of the time. the staccato and not full explanation of internet posting breeds it, and interpretation can run in multiple directions.
we all (or most) get snippy at times and i don't know if that's to be expected, but there's certainly room to be aware of it all.
also probably a good idea not to say someone's part of the problem if it's already an elevated debate. or "who the **** said that?" frustration abounds these days. guilty as charged meeself.
And certainly a fair observation that all (I can't think of anyone this doesn't apply to, most definitely including myself) get 'snippy' at times.
Unfortunately there are some on these threads, past and present, who blast off at every turn, literally, full of themselves as righteous in their anger but really propelled by political disinformation, wildly personally insulting in the process. It really is indeed 'part of the problem' we have with virus mitigation that so many in our society have decided to buy into the most egregious disinformation....and act upon it in ways that, in aggregate, promote virus spread.
I was just talking with an 89 year old woman whose son had taken her for a first vaccine shot this morning (hooray!). They'd gone to a drive thru at Starbucks and were shocked by a loud, near violent argument they watched while in line as a maskless woman tried to enter the shop but was being rebuffed...blew her top at the staff...
